Many illnesses share similar symptoms but require different treatments. A medical exam is necessary for an accurate diagnosis, without which appropriate treatment cannot be given.

    You should always consult your vet before following any suggestions for medication or treatment you have read about. The wrong treatment could make your rabbit worse or mean your vet is unable to give the correct treatment because of drug interactions.

my new baby bunny Miguel's stomach is making loads of gurgley noises...He is eating loads of hay and food, and seems to be pooing ok and is hopping around happily.. just his belly is making these noises.. any advice would be really really appreciated..

Oh and we have given him some apple (very small amounts) could this be a factor?

I have had a look on google and it came up with suggestion of gas.. and suggested massaging his belly, which doesn't feel particulary hard. When we did this, he did seem to do a few more poops.. but thats about it.

Thanks in advance! :cry:
 
It might just be a change in diet slightly. If he is pooping he ought to be fine.

Does he eat really fast? My bunny Biscuit gets a noisy tummy but she eats like a monster! It's not likely to be anything to worry about, just being a guts and getting used to his new diet. Keep an eye on his poops and his tummy to make sure it isn't swollen.

:)
 
No problem at all. I remember the first time Biscuit got the hiccups, I nearly had a heartattack!

Hope you stick around for bunny chat...we are a nice bunch :)
